About the author

Cassandra Kirkpatrick

<p> I am a mom of two truly amazing daughters, Cadence and Cailee, and the wife of my very own camo angel. Writing has always been my way to escape reality and live in my very own imaginary world. I love to entice the imagination of others with my words, allowing them to escape as I do.<br /> My love for animals led me down my education path. Not only do I have a bachelor&rsquo;s degree in biology, I am also a certified veterinary assistant and dog trainer.&nbsp; Being a part of the animal rescue in my hometown and a therapy dog team lets me share my love of animals with the rest of the world.<br /> Although my life hasn&rsquo;t always been sunshine and rainbows, I have always been a very generous and nurturing person.<br /> Outside of my house growing up, I had to be the sweetest little girl to hide the struggles going on inside our house. Inside the house, I had to be stronger than any child should ever have to be. Making it through it all has molded me to be the person I am today. I am:<br /> &ldquo;Stronger than duct tape. Sweeter than honey.&rdquo;</p>
